10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturdey,. Jenuory 21, 1967 | JO'S JOURNAL "BY JO ALDWINCKLE Women's Editor of The Times Whenever a hostess feels Frances Gage, an eminent the urge to give a party it is usually prompted by an occa- sion and her first thought is to make up a guest list. This year we don't have to wait for occasions. We have a continu- ing birthday party going on and I am pleased to see that in certain quarters, consider- ation is being given to invite celebrities with Oshawa con- nections to pay us a visit as guests of honor. The first personalities to come to mind are prominent in sports, athletic and enter- tainment fields, but there are many others that Oshawa might well be proud to honor. I haven't been able to iden- tify them all, but I'm told we have about thirty million- aires in Oshawa. I think they should give a "gold-plate spe- cial" to honor Earle Mce- Laughlin of Montreal, a na- tive of Oshawa who is the president of the Royal Bank of Canada. A CHANGE OF MENU, perhaps custard pie and but- termilk would be appropriate if our milk producers saw fit to honor George W. McLaugh- lin, now of Beaverton. Son of the late Ray McLaughlin and a nephew of Colonel R. 5. McLaughlin, Mr. George Mc- ° Laughlin is the national pres- ident of the Dairy Farmers of Canada. The medica! fraternity could stage a real "'cut-up"' in honor of the "Beaton Boys". Sons of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Beaton, John R. Beaton MD, Ph.D., and George H, Beaton MD, Ph.D. have risen to emi- nence in their chosen fields. Dr. John Beaton is associate professor in the department of physiology, University of Western Ontario and Dr. George Beaton is professor and head of the department of nutrition, School of Hy- giene, University of Toronto. Can you imagine the won- derful night of music we could have by inviting and honoring Ray Dudley, concert pianist, whose recordings of Bach are prized by connoiseurs, and Teresa Stratas, prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera? IN THE REALM of visual arts I can think of several who should be honored and there are probably many more. Those whose work is widely known would include Alexandra Luke, painter in oils and water color and woman who had apparently from her sidewalk. vestigated. there was wrong, house and telephoned for an ambulance. The woman was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital, presumably from sculptor. Perhaps we should include Eric Aldwinckle, who designed the Great Seal of Canada, the mace for Water- loo University and painted the memorial arch in O'Neill Col- legiate. Making his mark and per- haps better known in Whitby is John Agg, now living at Terra Cotta, Ontario. Mr. Agg taught art at Ontario Ladies' College, Whitby and also at Courtney High School, B.C. He has held exhibitions in Vancouver, Oshawa and To- ronto, and in Georgetown, Brampton and Kitchener since living at Terra Cotta. His wife, Helen, is a potter and the Aggs have added a shop to their home wher. visi- tors may browse and pur- chase paintings, abstract, fig- ures, still life of collage; wire sculpture, pottery and enam- e] design on copper. MEANWHILE around town this week the Ukrainians cele- brated their New Year and the Scots have been shaking out their kilts for Burns' Night. The association of the two events brings a strange thought to mind; the likeness of the two national poets, Taras Shevchenko of the Ukraine and Robert Burns of Scotland. Both were poor country lads. Their poetry sang of their love of nature and their own countryside and many were set to music. They loved their own kin and that is why the poems of Taras and Robbie who spoke from their hearts, will live forever. Quite frequently small acts of kindness pass unnoticed and unrecognized so I'm tak- ing this opportunity of hand- ing a bouquet to a bus driver. Our bus drivers not only keep their eyes on the road but do a good job of scanning the sidewalks, too. On one of his trips on King Street east, this particular good fellow saw a cluster of children around a fallen while clearing the snow He stopped the bus and in- Then realizing something quite he went to the next a heart attack but if her life could have been saved she would have had Lioyd Alling- ham to thank for it.

HELENE NANTAIS of Ot- tawa, a mother who works because she likes it, gets along with the help of a cleaning woman, but when her children were younger she had a live-in housekeep- er. Housekeepers cost up to $50 a week, compared with about $10 a week for the cleaning woman, The chil- dren are Pierre, 18; Gisele, 14; Leo, 10, and six-year- old twins Jean and Sylvie.

In Most Families By JEAN SHARP CP Women's Editor Some mothers work because the family needs the money, some because they want to, most for a combination of the two reasons. To do it they must organize their time with computer ef- ficiency, they must hope for moral support and an occa- sional hand from the family, and they must decide whether it's all worthwhile. For some the question is whether there will be any money left after clothes, taxes, transportation and lunches are paid for. The biggest problem, how- ever, and usually the largest expense, is finding someone reliable to take care of the children. The Canadian Press, in a Cross-Canada Survey, inter- viewed working mothers in all provinces. Their solutions to the child-care problem ranged from $120-a-month live-in help to no help at all, but a job that allows Mom to race home for lunch. In some cases, immediate dollar profit doesn't amount to much. The women aren't do- ing much more than breaking even but they feel they are investing, as does anyone who works, in a better job and higher pay for the future. THEY LIVE BETTER Mrs. John Findlay, who works for the Ontario govern- ment in Toronto, says her job does give the family a slightly better standard of living for now and she hopes in time to show a needed profit. The Findlays have a seven- year-old son who goes to a private nursery school for lunch and after school. This costs $10 a week and Mrs. Findlay says she tries to keep a week of her holiday time to take care of emergencies such as illness. She says some firms re- fused to hire her when they found out she had a child, and she believes employers are to promote working "They don't think you're de- pendable. Well, I'd like to | push on because we want a house and whatnot. 1 some- times think we're more de- pendable than the single girls." Mrs. Tadeus Treutler, now an insurance execulive secre- tary, got her first Canadian job as a stenographer, two wecks after the family arrived in Toronto from 'The Nether- lands in 1954. "T was told, 'We don't want to be bothered with your son at all.' " She was working close enough to the family flat to be able to have lunch with the boy, then six, but after school he was by himself. In the summer there were day and boarding camps. DOMESTICS COSTLY The live-in domestic, per- haps the most satisfactory solution, is also apparently the hardest to find and keep, and often prohibitively ex- pensive. Olga Curtis, an Edmonton teacher, says daytime help is available at $100 a month, but lower-paid women won't stay | with it. Mrs. Curtis pays $44 a | month to the nursery school their four - year-old attends. She estimates transportation costs at $12 a month, taxes, insurance and _ professional fees $75, clothes $20. She says she is left with about $240 a month that is helping to pay for and furnish a new home. Mrs. Harold Winsor of St. John's, Nfld. went to work 4 i parily because of financial pressure resulting from a family illness. The live-in domestic she found after some difficulty is paid $60 a month, but Mrs. Winsor estimates she actually spends about $120 a month on her. In Montreal, Paola Fautre, after much effort found a gem of a young girl to be gover- ness for three children. "The girl receives a salary of $30 a week. She sleeps in and is treated as one of the family," Mrs. Fautre is her own boss, a hairdresser who is currently putting her earnings back into the salon. LEFT WITH WOMAN Mrs, Egon Frech of Winni- peg leaves her three-year-old with a woman who lives nearby and pays $15 a week. She says they tried getting someone to come in but it was expensive and hard to find someone reliable. Mrs. Frech, a bank clerk, says she clears about 50 per cent of her salary. Mrs. Donald Shonaman of Saint John, N.B., makes the same estimate. The Shona- mans pay an aunt to look after their three children, one a pre-schooler, at home. Pat Attenborrow, a restau- rant cook in Vancouver, has no household help but an oc- casional baby sitter because her husband works an oppo- site shift. One of them is al- ways home with their two children, aged three and: 18 months. Mrs, Attenborrow says she works to help out with family finances, but believes they spend more because of her salary, and isn't sure it is worth it. She says she doesn't think the dual role affects her work, but feels she doesn't see enough of her husband and children. "I'm tired all day long. I've no energy for housework but I do it and I'm always rush- ing. It's this rushing that wears you down." NEEDS MORE SLEEP Mrs, Richard Loiselle of Halifax is a teacher who says she probably needs more sleep than she did when she was home, but she enjoys working. "Although I know people who are happy as housewives and although I know it's wrong to say a housewife has nothing to do all day, I don't like housework and I'm-not an | organized housekeeper." The Loiselles pay week to a woman who pre- pares the children's lunches and takes care of housework in the afternoon. The children, ages six and seven, are in | Grade 1. Audrey Ashley, music and drama editor for the Ottawa Citizen, says: "I work mainly $15 a WORLD OF AWAITS YOU HERE! manently from face, arms. legs with ELECTROLYSIS | Remove superfluous hair per- fast by Electrolysis.

It's purely selfish. I don't see why I can't have the best of both worlds." She has a cleaning woman who took care of her son, now eight, when he was younger. Mrs. Ashley says she is per- petually tired, and does not think she clears much on her salary. 'But in some ways you're a better person for being out of the house. You're not taking your frustration at nveing cooped up out on your family. I didn't go to work to escape my child, We've been able to do more things for him be- cause we have two salaries." HAS FIVE CHILDREN Helene Nantais, an informa- tion off vith the fec a government, also works be- cause she likes it. The Nantais have five chil- dren, from 18 down to six- year-old twins. When the chil- dren were younger they had a five - day -a- week live-in housekeeper. Now they just have a cleaning woman. Mrs. Nantais says the housekeepers cost $30 to $50 a week and were hard to get. The clean- ing woman costs $8 to $10 a week at a $1.25 an hour mini- mum. Mrs, Nantais says her sal- ary is enough now to help her with the children's college ex- penses. She says she could talk for hours about the lack of day- care facilities in Ottawa.

There are comments that the women value the moral support of husbands and fam- ily, though several say they could use a bit more family help around the house. NEED SUPPORT Roland Comeau of Charles- bourg, Que., says "a husband should do more than simply say, if you want to go to work, go ahead." He is a teacher, as is his wife. Mrs. Comeau began working part time until the school board asked her to work full time. "It was a real change," Mr. Comeau says. 'My wife be- came an entirely different person and I found out that holidays were her worst trial." He picks her up after school. Occasionally they can help one another with work brought home, and he dries dishes. The Comeaus have two chil- dren, aged four and 18 months, and a maid whom Mrs, Comeau says she treats as a big sister to the children. She says getting qualified help is a problem. Mrs. Comeau says she has more time to spend with the children when she is working than on holidays. "When I am on holidays I have a tendency to undertake a whole host of projects. So much so, that my daughter once said to me, 'Mummie, will you please stop work- ing." Dear Ann Landers: Several days ago my husband and i at- tended a party in the home of some longtime friends. The guests were very congenial and we had a wonderful time--as far as I can remember, I'm ashamed to tell you that I had too much to drink and the last part of the evening is a com- plete blank. I have a nagging fear that 1 insulted one of the women but I honestly cannot recall whether it actually happened or I dreamed it. We will be seeing this same group in a few weeks and want to know if I should tele- phone the woman before the party and ask if I was out of line. Or should I wait until I see her and then apologize? Or would it be best to forget the whole thing?--Mrs. Don't Re- member Dear Mrs. Don't: Few situa- tions are as awkward as & woman trying to reconstruct what happened when she wes drunk. There's always the chance that the other party was stiff, too, so I say let bad enough alone, Now thst you know booze sends your brain on a furlough and your mouth on active duty, lay off the sauce and you won't be plagued with this problem in the future.

A few days ago I read a letter from a woman who is out of her mind. She said her husband had had an affair, that he came to-her practically on his knees, said the affair was over and begged her to take him back. She said yes for the children's sake but she wrote: "Of course I can never truly forgive him." Her letter was signed "World Torn Apart." If she thinks her world is torn apart she should try living in my world. My husband has been keeping a tramp for three years and I'd give anything if he would tell me it's over and ask me to forgive him.
